Oh my :) Makes me happy since this was a really really great game and damn scary. Was on my toes all the time even though no monster showed up most of the time. Intensly listening for any ominous sound of monsters

Why does the box art look like the cover of a $2 horror book you'd find in the back of a second hand book store?

I think they should stick with the fake(?) box art. It's much more subtle and interesting.
It's friggin awesome that they're getting a box release though :D
THIS. I can't belive that horrible thing is the actual box art. It completely ruins the experience and the mysteriousness of what lies in the shadows. Now many people will think that the game is plagued bypedophiles who were struck by a truck.

I gues that the stigma of american box arts hasn't waned after all.
Yes, beware the dreaded rose for it might rape your children.

What?
No, no, no, I meant the other box art, the one in the article itself, I actually like the box art with the rose.

Well i can safefully say, that cover art is messing with my sanity, just not in the way its ment to...
It looks more like he's smiling, waiting for the right moment to shout at him or burst a balloon.
He's actually shouting "Surprise!" since Daniel showed up in the dark room and lit up his lantern. The monsters decided to get together and throw a surprise birthday party for the old sap, filled with all the lantern oil you can burn.

OT: So it gave the faceless protagonist a face... and revealed what the monsters looked like. Well, it's not like getting only a glimpse of the monsters as you ran screaming past them was a large part of the tension. No, really. Who would think that.

Beware of angry duck!

Its been released retail in Poland and not in America? THIS IS THE FIRST TIME EVER.

The box art of the polish retail... well, box.
Small name PC games have a tendency to come out in Europe and not the US. For example Arcen Games releases boxed games ONLY in Germany despite being based in the US. The PC is just more popular over here.

Why is it still called Amnesia in english despite bieng polish?
and WTF BOX ART PEOPLE!
Many titles don't get translated for European releases, possibly to maintain brand recognition or because marketers consider English cool.

I could make a better boxart than that. D:

That is insanely unsubtle for such a, well, subtle fucking game.

Very happy to see it coming in box form though.

Well I'm embarrassed on your behalf considering you specified the box art in your quote box, which is clearly the rose version.
No worries, sorry for the misunderstanding, I'm still learning to speak and write english properly to, well, avoid things like this.

I still think that the angry pedo-duck is one of the worst box arts I've ever seen.

Not only did they fuck the monster up. They also did Daniel wrong.
That one on the cover art is a whole new character.

Man. I never thought that they could mess up the grunt's face but, man that is somehow more ugly than the original. And why is it leaping at Daniel? Does that ever happen in the game?
